Breaking goes back as far as I know, talking to, founders of the dance

No later than '73

And these are breakers who used to break mainly on top

It was like a whole new movement, just like a spontaneous thing that just happened at the parties

Certain styles of dances came out that you knew was the new dance, and did it.

But with breaking, burning and going off

Other people that liked it would adapt it and that became like that agenda

You knew how to do it you just come in, you know, do your little posturing and posing

And you know, and then you go down

And then like if you doing a good move people would gather around

So that you got a little circle, and somebody might get in there and challenge you

All back here was lit up

Lit up with music, and this is where a lot of them started dancing at

Put a speaker right out here..

And everybody having fun

All out, all out crazy stuff

Cuz you see all the sh*t come together

Then you got people like the Nigga Twinz, all of a sudden they're going down to the floor

He was one of the brothers that used to be down with Kool Herc

And he had like, a little spin move, where he would like

Do that little spin move

And that was actually the first time I've ever seen somebody, you know, go down on the floor

We saw people dancing and we wanted to dance

You know, and it's just that our style of dancing was not like anybody else's

The funny thing was that the Nigga Twinz used to always have straws in their mouths

The Nigga Twinz used to come in with cigars and trench coats

And they used to come in and split the place up

And act like Groucho Marx

And they just walking with the cigars and then meet up in the middle

When we used to go down on the floor

We didn't get dirty

And we didn't dance on linoleum

And we didn't dance on cardboards, we danced on the cement

Them was the real Bboys back in the days, you know what I'm saying?

The original Top Rock is in the Top Rock that they do now

They go like this

That was the original Top Rock

It wasn't like this, you know what I mean?

And there was the Indian Step that goes like this

Our Up Rock was straight up Bboy Up Rock

Like, yeah Like, yeah

Straight up, straight up Bboy

Bboying on the floor didn't come out until like maybe the ending of '74, '75

When people started actually started going down

And breaking on the floor

I don't know who did it, eventually somebody went down and stayed down

Uprocking, I brung it to the floor

You know? That's why I was so good cuz I was

From there on it just kept going and kept going through

Until someone brung it out of the Bronx River, and before you know it there was Zulu Kings

Word up!
